This device has expired. Now what?

No more security updates will ever arrive for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. If it's your daily phone, the safest move is to replace it — ideally with a model that stays supported for years. The old one still makes a fine offline camera, alarm clock or backup device.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 in detail

How many years of updates does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 get?

Released in July 2019, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 received security patches until July 2023: 4 years in total.

Among the 31 Samsung tablets in our database, 1 were supported for less time and 17 for longer. The median is 4 years and 1 month.

Across all brands, the median for tablets is 6 years.

The last patch came out 3 years and 3 months ago.

Two schedules overlap here. New system versions stop in July 2022, security patches in July 2023. In between, the device stays on its last version but still gets fixes for security holes.

Can I keep using the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6?

Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after July 2023 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
